Jer 17:1 The sin of Judah
is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond: it is
graven upon the table of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars;
Jer 17:2 Whilst their children remember their altars and their groves by
the green trees upon the high hills.
Jer 17:3 O my mountain in the field, I will give thy substance and all thy
treasures to the spoil, and thy high places for sin, throughout all thy
borders.
Jer 17:4 And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinue from thine heritage
that I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in the land
which thou knowest not: for ye have kindled a fire in mine anger, which
shall burn for ever.
Jer 17:5 Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and
maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord.
Jer 17:6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see
when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness,
in a salt land and not inhabited.
Jer 17:7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the
Lord is.
Jer 17:8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that
spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh,
but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of
drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
Jer 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked:
who can know it?
Jer 17:10 I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every
man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.
Jer 17:11 As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he
that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of
his days, and at his end shall be a fool.
Jer 17:12 A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our
sanctuary.
Jer 17:13 O Lord, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be
ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth,
because they have forsaken the Lord, the fountain of living waters.
Jer 17:14 Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be
saved: for thou art my praise.
Jer 17:15 Behold, they say unto me, Where is the word of the Lord? let it
come now.
Jer 17:16 As for me, I have not hastened from being a pastor to follow
thee: neither have I desired the woeful day; thou knowest: that which came
out of my lips was right before thee.
Jer 17:17 Be not a terror unto me: thou art my hope in the day of evil.
Jer 17:18 Let them be confounded that persecute me, but let not me be
confounded: let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed: bring upon
them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.
Jer 17:19 Thus said the Lord unto me; Go and stand in the gate of the
children of the people, whereby the kings of Judah come in, and by the
which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem;
Jer 17:20 And say unto them, Hear ye the word of the Lord, ye kings of
Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in
by these gates:
Jer 17:21 Thus saith the Lord; Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden
on the sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem;
Jer 17:22 Neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbath
day, neither do ye any work, but hallow ye the sabbath day, as I commanded
your fathers.
Jer 17:23 But they obeyed not, neither inclined their ear, but made their
neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive instruction.
Jer 17:24 And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken unto me,
saith the Lord, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on
the sabbath day, but hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein;
Jer 17:25 Then shall there enter into the gates of this city kings and
princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on
horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of
Jerusalem: and this city shall remain for ever.
Jer 17:26 And they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the
places about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the plain,
and from the mountains, and from the south, bringing burnt offerings, and
sacrifices, and meat offerings, and incense, and bringing sacrifices of
praise, unto the house of the Lord.
Jer 17:27 But if ye will not hearken unto me to hallow the sabbath day,
and not to bear a burden, even entering in at the gates of Jerusalem on
the sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it
shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched. |
